Facing karmic tsunami

We come into the creation with a) our history (past), b) calculations , current affairs, and manipulations ruling us (present) and c) a lot of dream projects and castles built even in the air!! (future plans).

Things happen according to our karmic baggage. We get connected with everything in this world whether humans or animals or even with inanimate things.

With our bondage comes the connection with the outside world. Our joys and sorrows, relationships and encounters are experienced in accordance with the Devine plan.

Incidents happen and will cast its cloud. Some are trampled and some get choked in the process. Severe traumatic experiences throw an effect on the psyche and our behavior and belief system.

At this point, it is natural for humans to feel and ask, “why only me?”. For a seeker, these karmic bombs have a different effect. The more intense one becomes the more troubles one has to encounter.

We know many examples about devotees and saints and what all they went through on their journey.

They endured both physical and mental torture. They are not understood by their own kith and kin. But a seeker endowed with his Grace, would take this solitude as an advantage. He may get the blessing of a Guru who consoles him and nurtures him with love and positivity.

With inherent strength one should continue spiritual practices. Sometimes single thoughts also work wonders in quietude and retrospect.

A thought like the life is a ‘fleeting existence’ and no time for trifles. For some, another thought like Nature is so bountiful and beautiful why not indulge in it ?? For some constant remembrance of the devotees and saints and their trials, etc. gives support.

Endurance and persistence are the pillars for the path of Truth. A seeker should take all the adversaries to his advantage and tactfully proceed.

We have to continuously remind ourselves of the purpose of life. Knowing the Truth should be our primary motive. We have to put titanic effort to come out of the karmic tsunamis and we need his Grace to cooperate with us.

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa told that there are two kinds of renunciations namely; intense and feeble. Feeble renunciation is a slow process and moves in a slow rhythm. Intense renunciation is like a sharp edge of a razor. It cuts the bondage of Maya all at once. So, how we tackle the situation depends on seeker’s ability to renounce. Unless one renounces and ”let go” things as they are thrusted on you, it is very difficult to balance one’s wheel of the karma. Vairagya, plays a very important role. When we understand that the manifest world is transient and not permanent, the mind starts getting more and more detached. Vision will be clear.

Lastly one should get the Grace to get the Glimpse of the Supreme!!!! All our efforts will be rewarded only with His Grace. While we continue our journey, It may suddenly happen!!!!
